A lot has happened!!!

            Well a lot has happened since my last post!! John had his first birthday In August!! We had a farm themed Birthday and had our families over to celebrate with us!! John is now almost 19 months old, he is the most wonderful little boy I know! He walks up to me and says "Hi Momma!" He loves to give kisses and blow you kisses. Some of his favorite things to do is play with our phone, ride the quad with Daddy and watch Elmo. When we go to the park he would rather watch the kids play than play himself, and he loves to laugh! John is the pickiest eater ever some days he will eat and other days not so much!
          
           Well October 19th We had a very special little mirracle, Emma Renee she was 8lbs 22 inches long! I started having contractions on the 18th but I told Jordan to go ahead and go hunting! I figured it would be awhile and they had only been going on for 2 hrs (started at 3:30pm) So he went, well contractions became closer about 5 to 6 minutes apart, I started to call him and tell him to come home since we still had to drop John off at Grandma's and Grandpa's and we lived an hr away from the hospital. he finally showed up and we headed out! We got to the hospital around 8pm and Emma appeard at 12:46am! She is perfect!! John came to see her and didnt have much to do with her but he did enjoy his vanilla cup cake!!

         Emma is now 5 months old and let me tell you, she is a "old" 5 month old, she has now 2 teeth and she rolls constantly! John and her were both sick and she took it like a champ as for her brother he needed more love and attention! She does sleep pretty good at night from about 9pm to 7am but doesnt take many naps during the day!  She loves to see people and she loves to smile! John melts my heart when he goes up to her and gives her kisses and says "hi Emma!"

             I cant imagine my life without my two angels, Yes they are close in age (14months) and yes some people think I am crazy but I wouldnt trade them for the world! I love how close in age they are and I love how close they are already! When John talks to Emma she smiles from ear to ear!

New Changes

           John is almost 11 months old!! It is so hard to believe how the time is flying and how much he has changed! Any day now and he will be walking all over this place! He loves playing with his cousin Kitri, she can make him laugh so hard! I noticed though that John can get Kitri into trouble, he starts to cry and Kit gets in trouble. Naughty little boy :) He is going to be such a great big brother!

           Emma is doing well, but as for me during this time of pregnancy is a little more rough. I have to do the three hour glucose test this Friday! YUCK, GAG, THROW UP!!!! So not looking forward to it. I also have to see a cardiologist on Thursday! My heart has been going up to the 140's and back in like 2006 i was diagnosed with SVT Supra Ventricular Tachycardia, well the doctors thought it was that! So we will see what they do for me on Thursday!
                I have been working at Saint Mary's 3rd shift and it has been great so far. The transition to 3rd is pretty hard especially being pregnant, but I think I am doing pretty well! It really makes me want to go back to school and I hope fall of 2012 I can go back!          
                  We put our house up for sale this month and I am hoping for a quick sale! Jordan and I are having are struggles at this time and we both think it is best that we separate for awhile and see where God wants us to go! It has been hard, but prayer and faith is the best medicine! I hope through out this time we can see what we both want in life, and if it is to continue with this marriage I pray that BOTH of us can put 150% into it! As for now praying is the best!

Big Boy

       John is CRAWLING!!! He is every where and into everything!!! He so dang cute, when he crawls from the carpet to the hard wood he has to crawl using his feet not his knees!! He is pulling himself up on everything to!! John loves to give goofy faces to people just to make you laugh then he begins to laugh to! He can not stand eating baby food anymore, unless there are chunks in it, he loves toast, bananas, granola bars, any thing that he can handle! Soon he will be going back to check his weight and hope it increased in a healthy way!

       John Had surgery and he did so well.. His surgery wasn't until 2pm so it was rough for him cause he couldn't eat or drink anything after 10 am! at 1:15pm they told us that they were 30 minutes behind, UGH I was very irritated just cause poor John was so hungry!! We tried everything to make him happy and distract him, finally 20 minutes before we went in, a wonderful PCA came and played with us and he seemed to enjoy that! They took him away and even though I was kinda sad, I also was happy because I knew that now it is almost over with! About 2 1/2 hours later they came and told us everything went well! He explained that John would have a little catheter in and that it would drain right into his diaper!! Yea we went and bought size 6 overnight diapers cause he drenched through his size 3 ones!! HAHA!! Had to change his clothes four times that day! He did so well with the whole process, it didn't even face him when they took the catheter out either! I am so proud of my little man!
            Baby Emma is doing well, she is in the 27th percentile a little girl she is but that is okay with me! My pregnancy is going very well now! Her due date is October 13th, I am very excited to meet my little girl!!

          Hope everyone is having a great start to summer break!!

With much love ~ Lindsey~

Baby Girl

                 We are having a GIRL!!! I am so excited, I will have a little boy and a little girl! I had asked the ultrasound tech 3 times to make sure she was a girl! Jordan wasn't able to go with me and he couldn't wait for me to get home so I told him over the phone. He did not believe me at all, he kept telling me I was lying. I think he was in shock cause he didn't say much, haha! Later when I called him you could tell he was more excited he told me he had to go buy a shot gun to scare all the little boys away! Her name will be Emma Renee!!
               John is doing very well, he can sit up now from a laying position and is still trying to crawl! On Monday he had his 9 month check up, he is a little guy at only 17lbs 11.5 oz! So we are trying to feed him alot more, and he will go back in 6 weeks for a weight check! He has his surgery on Friday, we still don't have a time on when his surgery is which is kind of a bummer especially cause John cant eat eight hours prier, then the next 4 hrs he can have clear liquids, and then nothing 4 hours before! I pray that it is in the morning so he can sleep through most of the suffering of not eating! :(

NEW JOB!!!!

          I GOT THE JOB AT SAINT MARY'S!!!! I am so happy and excited! Jordan didn't get the job in Marshall but he is working right now at Paul Maines, it is a potato farm. He drives tractor all day and if you know Jordan you know that he loves tractors! We are both praying that everything works out for the both of us.
          I am 18 weeks and 4 days pregnant, time is sure flying! Next Monday we will find out if we will be having Emma Renee or Noah ????? (We haven't decided on a middle name!) My mom will be going with me to the ultrasound because Jordan cant get the time off of work cause he needs to have Friday off for John surgery. Today my mom and I were looking at baby items at the store and my mom said something to John about having a baby sister. John looked at me with this look like "she's kidding, right?" It was so cute!

         John is doing so good, still hasn't mastered crawling yet but he is trying! He loves his bath times, he splishes and a splashes! He is doing so well!

My Wonderful Mothers Day

       I had such a wonderful mothers day!!! Jordan and John went shopping for me and bought me a ice cream maker!! If you know me, you know that I LOVE ICE CREAM!! It looks like an old fashion ice cream maker with a crank handle, but also has a motor on it to. I was super excited and happy with my first mothers day gift!!!

       Jordan had to work on mother's day, but I was fortunate to have the day off. Early that morning before Jordan left for work, we went and had breakfast at Margo's with his parents and grand parents! After breakfast John and I went home, he took a nap and I cleaned! After his nap we headed to buy Grandma Kraft a beautiful hanging basket. Then we went to her house and had some cake!! John loved the cake, he was such a mess and he was willing to share if you wanted to lick it off his fingers!! We were going to go for a walk with grandma, but when we got to the park John was passed out, so we decided just to let him sleep! When we got home we played for the rest of the evening!

       On Monday, my mom and Kitri came over and we headed to the park! John loved the swings, and Kitri loved playing on everything. Tuesday I had a doctor appointment, the babies heart beat was 152 and on May 23rd we will find out if we are having another beautiful baby boy or a beautiful baby girl! After my doctor's appointment, John and I went to the zoo with Rachel, Stephanie, Blake and Dylan! I was kinda disappointed that they didn't have more to see at the zoo! I really want to go to the zoo in Detroit and the Binder zoo. I hope we can make it there this summer!
      John will be having surgery on May 27th it is an out patient surgery. I am more nervous for this than he is, I understand that its a common surgery but he still has to have anesthesia. He has epipasibus (Have no clue if this is how you spell it, but its the best I can do!) It means that Johns urethra is to low on his penis and it is shaped like a D instead of an O, so they are going to move the urethra up and shape it into an O. This surgery is more of a cosmetic surgery than a life and death surgery. If he doesn't get this, then he may always have to pee sitting down. John has been trying to crawl, he gets on all 4's and cant figure out how to move! He gets so upset and cries, its sad but cute at the same time. He looks at me with this look that says "Mom please help me!!" It is so cute, I just look at him and say "You can do it little man!"
   Jordan had his interview in Marshall and it seemed to go well. He will be going down there on Sunday and staying for a few days to work there. The owner (Ben), wants to make sure that Jordan like it there before putting his two weeks in and also to make sure that they can work well together!! Ben is from the Netherlands, I think this is awesome cause I am dutch!! Hopefully by the end of next week we will know for sure if he has the job or not! Please continue to pray from him and our family, this would be such a huge blessing.
    As for me, I had another interview with Saint Mary's today on the Oncology floor. I think it went a lot more smoothly than my last interview. She told me that I should hear back in a week. It is kind of bitter sweet at the moment, because if Jordan gets this Job we will be moving, but I may still take this job until our house sells, and look into seeing if there is a trinity health by Marshall so I maybe able to transfer there. But we will see what happens first.
    Well this month is flying bye, and the last two weeks are going to be really busy for us. But as a family we are doing well and having a great time just living our life!!

Much love to all

May ALREADY????

       It is so hard to believe that it is already May, time is sure flying by!!!! I am 16 weeks and 6 days pregnant, it is flying by also! On Tuesday I have another doctors appointment, at this appointment we will set up the date for an ultrasound!! I still feel like we are having a little girl but we will find out!!
      John is recovering well from his ear infection, he has had a nasty cough and cold but its definitely getting better. His appetite is coming back also! He has scooted a few times, so not long and he will be crawling!!! Oh I'm so excited for him to crawl, but at the same point I say NO DON'T CRAWL YET, where has my baby gone!!! He is growing so fast!! Already 8 months old!!
     Jordan had an interview in Marshall but is still waiting to hear back from them. He also has started his summer soft ball league, and his first game is May 12th! I always enjoyed going to his games.
       As for me, I did hear back from Saint Mary's and I did not get the job at 3 lacks, but I have another interview on the oncology floor. I am praying that I will be able to get this job! I also want to go back to school so bad, I am hoping the fall of 12 I will be able to. I want a better job and be able to be comfortable with our finances, but also do something I love. I do love what I do now, but I want to further my education.
     On April 30th, I gained a new sister in law!!! Chad and Kristen got married, it was a beautiful wedding and John looked so cute in his suite!!!

         Much Love
